Development Program
acpe
With ACPE’s Physician Leadership Development Program, you can bring physician education in-house, benefitting you, your organization and your staff in the following ways:
• Convenience: Bring education to you based on your schedule. • Time-savings: Avoid the hassle or downtime associated
with traveling.
• Cost-effective: Get substantial group discounts. • Flexibility: Use a variety of education formats to suit
different learning styles, including in-house, instructor-led online and self-study online. Course work can apply toward advanced degrees and board certification.
• Increased effectiveness: Instill a feeling of camaraderie and
create motivated, energized and productive team players. Why is in-house physician education so important?
Nine of the top ten U.S. hospitals are led by physician CEOs*. Research published in Social Science and Medicine demonstrated a strong correlation between physician leadership and top-performing health systems.
However, not all doctors are ready for leadership. It can be a long way from the operating room to the C-suite. Transitioning from a successful clinician to an effective leader requires a different skill set—skills that are not obtained in medical school.
How do you teach physicians the strategic skills necessary to help lead your organization? Bring ACPE’s education in-house. More than 50,000 physicians worldwide have placed their confidence in ACPE to provide their leadership training. So, whether you’re looking for a one-day program to reinvigorate your team, an ongoing 3-year training curricula to transform your organization—or anything in between—ACPE’s Physician Leadership Development Program can help.
How it works
We’ll help you design an education program that fits your needs. ACPE provides support every step of the way, from curriculum planning to pre-event logistics to onsite management. Our education content covers a broad range of timely and relevant topics, from financial decision making to teamwork, and managing physician performance to information technology.
Whatever your requirement, ACPE has a course, expert faculty and format to match it.
Select faculty from top-rated universities including Tulane, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, University of Massachusetts, University of Southern California and The Citadel. Faculty
tailor each course to address your organization’s specific issues, and incorporate your case studies into the curriculum to help solve ongoing organizational problems.
In fact, quality scores were 25-33 percent
higher in the physician-led hospitals
than their non-physician-led peers.
